Knecht Ruprecht Waldorf Doll

€185.00

Beautiful new doll with long hand spun and plant dyed lambswool hair.
The snowflakes sink down,
and neath their white gown
there hides a white crown
three wee bells you see.
Their heads are bent low,
Their hearts do not show
Who dreams neath the snow?
Three wee bells you see.
But soon they will ring
And tell us of spring.
Who can it be?
Snowdrops are we.
